I might not be famous one day. But I'd still be happy.

I had to endure the worst time of all in terms of racial discrimination in Hollywood when i first started out. It was inconcievable to American directors and producers that a Mexican woman could have a lead role.

Sometimes evolving doesn't mean transforming; sometimes it just means owning what is there.

I have a small house so I borrow everything except art, that's what I love.

I noticed in the past, a lot of guys who like strong women, they really freak out if you're not strong 24/7. Or they complain about you being strong, then the moment you're not strong, they're like, 'Oh, no, no, no.'

I say that the most liberating thing about beauty is realizing that you are the beholder.

I became obsessed with all these women who die never feeling they did anything extraordinary with their lives.
